Jesse Williams: Video Highlight of Former Alabama Defensive Tackle

Jesse Williams has all the tools to be a great defensive tackle in the NFL, and he was a big reason why Alabama continued to have one of the most feared defenses in all of college football last season.

Williams, who was a JUCO transfer to Alabama, is a guy who relies on his amazing strength to get into the backfield and cause a lot of havoc for the opponent.

Here are some of Williams' highlight plays while playing for Alabama's top-notch defense.

November 2011 vs. LSU

Williams makes a great play to alter the throw for the LSU quarterback in this clip.

You can’t always make it to the quarterback, but having the mindset to get your hands up to bat down a throw is a strong tool to have. Making life difficult for the quarterback is something Williams does a good job of here.

The overthrown ball could have easily led to an interception here, but a incompletion was still pretty effective.

Teams want guys like this who can surge the pocket on the defensive line.

November 2011 vs. LSU

Here’s another play from that same defensive-minded battle against LSU where Williams refuses give up on making the stop. He initially gets knocked to the ground but has the motor to still make the tackle and keep the gain to a minimum.

That was a big part of this particular game that kept LSU out of the end zone, and Williams played a major role in that. You also get a good look into his strength on the replay when he pulls back the LSU rusher.
